Day Oftts Accomplishments Named.
 LONDON, June 9.-In the Commons this afternoon W. H. Smith, the government leader, gave notice that tomorrow he would move that the committee name the period at which they would report the Irish crimes act amendment bill to the House. This an- nouncement was received with great cheers and counter cheers. MT. Morley protested against so short notice. He hoped the gov ernment would postpone making the motion for another day. (Cries of "No" from the ministerial benches.j MT. Smith said he felt sure that Mir. Morley must have expect ed that the government would make such proposal, Opposition cries of "No.0 MT. Smith then referred to his statement in the House on Tuesday in which he said possibly it would become his duty to take measures to expedite public business. He said the government was unable until to-day to final ly decide on what course to pursue. MT. Smiths motion prodoses that the crimes bill be reported by the 17th inst. The Parnellites will oppose the motion by every means in their power, alleging that it is unprecedent- ed. The Unionists approve the motion.
 After the rejection of several amendments to clause four and the application of the cloture rule MT. Balfour moved that the rule providing for the removal of venue to Lon don be omitted from the bill (Parnellite cheers) He admitted that there were strong objections to that provision and said that as long as the ends of the government would be attained they would not show themselves ob- stinate as to the means by which the ends were to be reached. They thought it wise and prudent to abandon that clause in favor of one providing for trial by commission of judges. (Cries of "Oh!" "Oh!" and laughter. Sir William Vernon Harcourt declared that the government would have been unable to face the condemnation which the adoption of the venue section would have brought upon them. The present proposal, he said, was decent sham. Mir. Smith arose to speak amid Parnellite cries of F'closure, closure" and before he finished his first sentence MT. Healey moved that the question be put. MT. Healey's motion was agreed to amid loud cheers. MT. Balfour's motion wos then car ried without division. MT. Smith then gave notice that at 10 p. m on Friday, the 17th inst, he would move that the chairman forthwith put the question on any motion, amendment or proposal relating to the clause then under discussion and on each remaining clause of the bill. Replying to question by Sir Vernon Harcourt, MT. Smith said it was not proposed that these motions should be carried by particular majority line rules of urgency.
 MT. Balfour announced that the provision for commission of judges would be included in second bill, which would be introduced immediately, embodying the new proposals of the government. Loud laughter and ironieal cheers.) Sir William Vernon Har court congratulated the governmdnt upon their new method of saving time in the House. L. l. l. 1r,1~ so ridiculous that it would require a third coercion bill to set it right.
 It is probable that tomorrow or on Mon day the Parnellites will raise debate on the evictions in Ireland Mir. Gladstone, MT. Parnell and other leaders will speak to-mor- row on MT. Smiths proposal. If the debate should be protracted the cloture rule will be applied
